fisheye56 Posted August 3, 2012 Report Share Posted August 3, 2012 When you are pouring is everyone using cups or injectors? I use a cup, but my mold are small with thin tails and get a void every now and then just wondering if an injector would speed and eliminate viod in the process? just asking...poring a darter like, or drop shot worm 3" in a rtv mold.

Kajan Posted August 3, 2012 Report Share Posted August 3, 2012 Anyone who hand pours should invest in a presto pot with a stir system with the valve. Best way to hand pour there is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobv Posted August 3, 2012 Report Share Posted August 3, 2012 I've used a cup and an injector on small mold and the cup is easier for me. Seems like those small baits are the hardest to pour. Keep your plastic hot and mold warm. I have a presto pot but on those small baits I'm usually doing small batches and don't want to heat that much plastic. Sure which there was a smaller version of the presto! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best way to hand pour there is.+1 I have two presto pots and they are great. Every now and then I gotta use a cup for a tripple pour but the Presto pots are the way to go.

Driftwood Posted August 4, 2012 Report Share Posted August 4, 2012 If you are heating a small amount, try the lee pouring pots. It is easy to control the flow for the smaller molds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bass-Boys Posted August 4, 2012 Report Share Posted August 4, 2012 you have to have your plastic very hot for the darter... 340 - 350 deg. the drop shot should pour @ a little over 300 to 320 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
